HERNDON, VA--(Marketwire - October 13, 2008) - XO Communications (OTCBB: XOHO) today announced
that it has successfully delivered a nationwide IP-based wide area
networking solution to RideNow Powersports, the largest powersport
dealership group in the country. RideNow chose to use XO's Multiprotocol
Label Switching based Internet Protocol Virtual Private Network (MPLS
IP-VPN) solution to drive cost savings, enable a new, nationwide Voice over
IP (VoIP) platform and augment all of their point-of-sale operations at 32
locations across the country.

RideNow is recognized as the largest powersport dealer group in the
country, with 32 locations in six states selling motorcycles, ATVs and
watercraft, parts and accessories. Until RideNow engaged XO for their
network solution, all of their stores had different types of legacy
systems, including cable, DSL and T1-based services. The arrangement made
management of the network a time-consuming and expensive task, while
different locations had trouble communicating sales information and
transactions to headquarters.

"We knew we had to simplify our network and streamline our locations in
order to save money and ensure our point-of-sale information was properly
captured," said Joe Hennessy, Director of Information Technology at RideNow
Powersports. "XO offered expert management and an MPLS IP-VPN solution
that was scalable and affordable. With it we can now concentrate on making
sales and serving our customers as opposed to worrying about our network."

XO MPLS IP-VPN provides faster data speeds than RideNow had with their
legacy networks, enabled the company's migration to VoIP, and delivers
improved cost-efficiencies by converging voice and data traffic over a
single IP network infrastructure. RideNow estimates that it has been able
to reduce network administration time and costs by 22% due to its ability
to consolidate all network operations over the XO MPLS IP-VPN solution. In
addition to the wide area networking solution provided by XO, RideNow is
also benefiting from XO's broadband wireless capabilities for disaster
recovery applications. XO has established a 100 Mbps broadband wireless
connection directly to RideNow's headquarters, which provides an additional
layer of network redundancy in the event that its wireline connection is
unavailable.

"RideNow is a perfect example of a company that is a tremendously
successful business but had outgrown its legacy network," said Brad
Boddicker, sales vice president for the west region at XO Communications.
"We've provided them with a cost-effective solution that has allowed all of
their locations to seamlessly communicate through an efficient, managed
network so that they can focus on their core business and never have to
worry about point-of-sale downtime or unreliable service."
